which Mr.. Malone has offered Is upon the
southwest side of the town and consists of
about three acres, while that offered by Mr..
Armstrong is north of town and adjoins
both the B. q o. and Newark a POmaroy

General Armstrong, the energetic head
and champion of the Hampton, Va train
ing school for the oolored race, is quoted
in recent interview as attIibuting less
and less of disposition on the part of
the colored people to the pstronizing of
their neighbors' hen roosts. Evidently
the general has not made critical study
of the habits of the Pencader hundred
negro. This midnight faculty has de-
veloped wonderfully of late, as some of
the residents of the village Of Glasgow
can testify. Every one constituted
himself private detective to cap.

consequently there now languish in
the county jail John johnson and
" Big Jim " Bockus, both colored and
both concerned in the recent depletions
of hen roosts. 1t happened in this way !:
On Thursday night the Rev. T. O.
Anderson was robbed of 16 chickens. 1t
was showing that night, but by q singular
and fortunate contingency the snow
stopped falling just after John and Big
Jim had left their clearly defined tracks
upon its surface and which few hours
later served to lead right to their cabin
doors, q half mile distant. Squire
Frazer needed no other evidence and they
are accordingly now in New Castle Jail.
